vashti bunyan - lookaftering (2005)

[bandcampsnoop]

2/4/25.

I don't pretend to be a Vashti Bunyan fan from years past. I came to her music through a television show, Patriot. The opening credits use the "Train Song". Hooked, I needed more and bought "Just Another Diamond Day" and “Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind”. I also made a post using "Fragments du Monde Flottant", a compilation curated by Devandra Banhart. I knew about "Lookaftering" at the time, but didn't buy it.

Now, Pias Recordings has reissued the album on 2 LP vinyl (along with demos) and Monorail has a few signed copies (Bunyan lives in Edinburgh).

If you feel so inclined, take a Vashti Bunyan search trip on the blog. Since the original Vashti Bunyan post in 2019, her music has garnered nearly two dozen mentions - from Nick Garrie to Myriam Gendron to Margo Guryon.

-dream a little dream of me,the mamas and papas

Hello my name is Rielle/Elle I’m a minor (16/17) and welcome to my corner of the internet.

This is probably the fourth introduction I made lol.

I originally created this blog for the purpose of just sharing my writing but I’m not sure what happened because now I’m a stranger things/byler and Yellowjacket centric blog who created separate side blogs for her writing and ocs.

My main fandoms are stranger things and Yellowjackets although I’m planning on making this blog more oc centric in the future when I finally gain the motivation to write again.

Other minor fandoms I’m into are newsies 1992, the outsiders, the enemy series by Charlie Higson and It.

Musicians im currently into are the Cranewives, the Cranberries, Lord Huron, Mitski, Weezer and Vashti Bunyan.

My favourite albums of all time are stranger trails by Lord Huron, coyote stories, fox lore by the Cranewives and lookaftering, some things just stick in your mind and heart leap by Vashti Bunyan.

My all time favourite songs are meet me in the woods, frozen pines, love like ghosts, louisa, hurricane (johnnies theme), keep you safe, allies or enemies, never love an anchor, the hand that feeds, metaphor,know how, dream a little dream of me, California dreaming, train song, winter is blue, here before and I’d like to walk around in your mind someday.

Currently in the process of developing two novels one of which has been a passion project of mine since I was 11 and the other I got the idea for this week.

Summaries: (I will probably rewrite these later lmao)

The older of the two is an untitled story taking place in a futuristic dystopian world surrounded by a 350 foot wall to keep its inhabitants away from the outside world.

The novel is centered on two teenage best friends Jackson Hills and Toby-Michael Gray as their summer of mutual pining for each other is cut short through Jack finding a journal belonging to an anti wall revolutionist who he believes is his biological father and as his obsession with the man grows the duos friendship is tested as the discovery forces both boys to come to terms with their pasts, worst traits and their relationship which is on the fine line of romantic and platonic.

The protagonists in this one are unintentionally Mike and Will skull emoji.

The more recent novel remains unnamed although I’ve been using the st.catherine project as a place holder name. It takes inspiration from my experience from being in a catholic all girls school as well as elements from yellowjackets, the walking dead and enemy book series. the novel takes place in a prestigious all girls boarding school with a reputation for great academic achievements from its pupils despite the strict environment students are still able to find fun and form deep connections with each other. the premise for it is it takes place in a universe where a disease takes over turning a majority of people into zombie like creatures and the pupils and teachers remaining are forced to confront their own mortality, disregard their morals and come to terms with who they really are to themselves and each other for the sake of survival. despite taking place in an apocalyptic setting the story focuses more on the characters ever changing relationships with each other with the apocalypse acting as a catalyst to it.

Side blogs:

@not4rielle

-side blog/back up blog in the case of anything happening to my main blog such as shadow banning

@tales-from-the-wanderer

-side blog for ocs from various pieces of media like ranging from the outsiders to stranger things to Yellowjackets.

@the-dome-of-salus

-side blog for the first novel I mentioned as of now there isn’t much on it but once I gain enough motivation I will become more active on it.

@stcatherine-project

-side blog for the second novel I mentioned as of now there’s only the introduction post on it but I’m currently working on character bios for the focus characters.

Rp blog master list:

Dni:

I don’t think I have a reason to write a dni since I block freely and filter content I don’t want to see but just incase:

-proshippers, xenophobes of any kind, homophobes,transphobes, ed blogs, ableists and Noah Schnapp antis especially the ones who believe he deserved the antisemitic and homophobic hate train he received.

To note:

I automatically assume that anyone in my inbox looking for donations for whatever cause is a scammer using peoples empathy and naivety to profit off of a human crisis and any donation asks will be deleted end of story.

I have chronic illness which limits mobility in my joins and leaves me feeling fatigued a majority of the time so it takes time for me to respond to reblogs, comments, asks and messages in my dms.
